This work will involve investigating a novel biomarker for the early detection of ovarian cancer. This is an Invest NI Proof Of Concept Grant and therefore the ultimate aim is to obtain robust results that can be used in the development of a commercial product.

The Research Fellow will be an active member of the HGSC research team assisting in the development of research proposals and the planning and delivery of the research activity within a specified area so that the overall research objectives of the project are met. The successful applicant will contribute to the day to day running within this molecular biology lab, including supervision and training of undergraduate and postgraduate students. The Research Fellow will be required to perform a range of cutting-edge methodologies used in study of DNA based methylation biomarkers.
